EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken during the Henley Royal Regatta in July 1888, we are transported back in time to witness a fascinating moment of juxtaposition between high society and superstition. A smartly-dressed spectator, exuding elegance and refinement, finds herself drawn towards the enigmatic world of fortune-telling. Amidst the lively atmosphere of the regatta, she sits attentively as a fortune teller reads her palm with an air of mystery. The contrast between their appearances is striking – while the woman is adorned in fashionable attire befitting her social status, the fortune teller emanates an aura of poverty and mysticism. The image captures not only a singular interaction but also reveals a larger scene unfolding around them. A large group of men and women can be seen enjoying their day outdoors by the picturesque Thames River. Their presence adds depth to this snapshot from history, highlighting how even within such esteemed events like Henley Royal Regatta, people were still intrigued by age-old beliefs and practices. Published originally in Illustrated London News on July 7th, 1888, this print serves as both a visual testament to that era's fashion trends and societal dynamics. It invites us to ponder upon themes such as class divisions, human curiosity about what lies beyond our control or understanding – all encapsulated within one intriguing moment frozen in time at Henley-on-Thames.
